Bridget Marquardt Is Engaged, Shows Off Giant Diamond Spider Ring

Bridget Marquardt is taking her self-proclaimed Twitter title of "Queen of Halloween" to a whole new level.

The ex-girlfriend of Hugh Hefner announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend Nick Carpenter over Instagram on Thursday. In the pic, Carpenter and Marquardt, who met at the Playboy Mansion and have been dating since 2008, are holding hands, showing off an extremely unique engagement ring -- a diamond encrusted spider. A sign that reads "Till Death Do Us Part" is pictured in the background.

Though it hasn't been confirmed whether the jewelry is her actual engagement ring, it wouldn't be that surprising, seeing how Halloween-obsessed Marquardt is in real life.
Marquardt frequently posts about her favorite holiday on her social media accounts. Most recently, the TV personality shared photos from her Halloween-themed Disneyland trip with former Playmate Holly Madison and friend Ashley Matthau.

Turns out, the trip was all in celebration of Marquardt's exciting news.

"Congratulations @Bridget on your engagement," Madison tweeted with a pic of the same drinks immediately after news of her friend's engagement broke.

While Madison may be on good terms with Marquardt, her relationship with another former Playmate, Kendra Wilkinson, has gotten ugly. In a promo clip for Kendra on Top, Wilkinson claims that Madison wrote "disgusting" lies about Hefner in her tell-all memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny.
